Chapter Seventy-Four: The Death of the Overseer
At the end of the unitary period, Wu Junzhen took Wu Youke and Zhao Chuan to escape from Tongguanwei and came to a reed field, and the four of them were discussing where to flee? Wu Youke first said: "The old man is a grass man, he makes a living by hanging pots to help the world, save the dead and help the wounded, it doesn't matter where he goes, as long as he can save people!" And Ma Wei felt that the nearest place here should belong to Tongguan Beiqian Household, so he proposed to go to Tongguan Beiqian Household to temporarily avoid the limelight and inquire about Inspector Sun's situation by the way?
So Wu Junzhen took out the fire fold, lit the torch, held it high, and hurried while it was dark, and walked about a stick of incense before coming to the city of Tongguan to prepare for the thousand households, and saw the Ming soldiers in the city, which made Ma Wei very excited, he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Hey, we are the officers of the Tongguan guard, the brothers in the city, open the city gate quickly." ”
However, because the light of the torches was limited in the dark, the defenders did not dare to open the city easily, but asked, "Who are you?" Why are you here? Wu Junzhen stepped forward and replied: "I am the general manager of Tongguan Wei Qian, and I am a subordinate of Inspector Sun, dare to ask the brothers, can Inspector Sun be in the Thousand Households?" ”
Although he heard that it was Inspector Sun's subordinates, Mingtong Guan Qianhu: Yuan Xinlong, was still worried about fraud, and still refused to open the city gate and let them come up with evidence, in desperation, Wu Junzhen remembered the token he was carrying, he held it high and shouted: "There is a token of Tongguan Wei Qianzong, if you don't believe it, you can send someone down to check." ”
After thinking about it again and again, Mingtong Pass Qianhu asked Mingtong Pass Baizong: Xi Yin, take a team of people out of the city to check, and when they got close to the three of them, the Ming army first searched to see if they had brought sharp weapons? Confirm that you didn't carry any sharp weapons before checking the token, only to see a golden (Suzaku) eye engraved on the back with a red masonry eye on it, Mingtong Guan Baizong confirmed that it was the token of the Wei Suojun before saying to the three of them: "Master Qian, I'm sorry that the general just now mistakenly thought you were a rogue and a spy!" The Governor is resting in the Thousand Households, so it is time for a cup of tea before you. ”
Then he led Wu Junzhen into the city to meet Inspector Sun, and saw that more than half of the generals who escaped were killed and wounded, Wu Junzhen was very sad, and he also reported the escape of his boss Mingtong Guan Guard to the Inspector, which made Inspector Sun feel a little down? After nightfall, the Ming army did not dare to take it lightly, and in order to prevent the rogue from attacking, Inspector Sun specially arranged sentry posts on duty in turn, and spent a night in anxiety.
The next day, on the 3rd day of the first month of October, when the Ming soldiers defending the city were eating breakfast, Wu Junzhen in the city also got up and was about to go out to investigate the enemy's situation, and saw that the soldiers sent three steamed buns for him to enjoy. But unexpectedly, suddenly there was a burst of artillery fire outside the city, and then the soldiers in the camp shouted in surprise, "There are rogues attacking the camp, everyone go and meet the enemy!" Hearing this shout, Wu Junzhen hurriedly swallowed the steamed buns, picked up the eyes in the camp and ran to the city gate, Ma Wei also took a rod (iron whip) and followed Wu Junzhen to meet the enemy.
At this moment, Wu Youke and Zhao Chuan behind him saw a cannonball coming from above, and he hurriedly shouted, "Be careful!" But before the words fell, the cannonball exploded, knocking Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei to the ground! After the smoke of gunpowder, Wu Youke quickly ran up and felt his pulse, and found that there was still gas, so he looked around and found a cart to carry the two of them up with Zhao Chuan, and pulled them to escape from the back city.
At this time, the general of Pingdong outside the city: Sun Kewang, and the general of the left system of the Shun army: Liu Fangliang, said, "Sun Chuanting, this is being forced to the end of the road by us!" I'll leave it to you this time, catch him and dedicate it to the king, hehehe. Soon the Shun army broke through the city gate and rushed in, many Ming troops were killed before they drew their swords, Ming Gu Yuan Guard, Ming Yulin Guard immediately fled outside the city, only Ming Shaanxi General Soldier and Ming Lintao General Soldier, Ming Qinzhou Guard General Soldier and other generals drew their swords and slashed with the enemy.
Just when the two sides were fighting in the streets, Inspector Sun held a bird gun high and shot at the Liukou, and when the Shun army on horseback in the chaos waved a big knife and hacked six Ming soldiers to death, he accidentally saw a person wearing fish scale armor and a bowl with red feathers on his back and a brocade robe, which made the Shun military governor suspect that this person must be Sun Chuanting? Without hesitation, he rushed over and slashed the Ming army in front of him, and slashed in front of Inspector Sun to break his armor, and the Shun army archers next to him took the opportunity to shoot arrows, (whoosh, whoosh, whoosh) instantly shot Inspector Sun into a hornet's nest! I saw fourteen sharp arrows stuck in Inspector Sun's chest, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth.
Despite this, Inspector Sun still endured the pain, swung his knife and hacked the two rogue soldiers to death, and was kicked a few times from behind by the surrounding Shun army, causing him to lose his balance and slowly kneel on the ground, his hand still clenched the saber, raised his head to look at the sky, and shouted: "The sky bears me!" After that, he was stabbed in a pool of blood with a spear by the Shun army, at the age of 51, a generation of supervisors sacrificed their lives for the country, although they died, they were still honored!
The Mingtong Pass Thousand Households and the Deputy Envoy of the Mingtong Pass Guard Supervision Army who fought against the Liukou around him were also killed in the battle, so far the Tongguan Guard and the Tongguan Reserve Thousand Households were occupied by the Shun army one after another, and Xi'an Mansion was in danger.
After the war, when King Xinshun ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, he found Sun Inspector who was killed by an arrow in the pile of dead people, and made General Shun Junquan and Shun Governor laugh on the spot, and the two said in unison, "Sun Chuanting didn't think that you also have today?" Death at our hands is also your creation, hehehe! But the king of Xinshun next to him couldn't be happy, he thought; Sun Chuanting is now dead in the hands of Lone, presumably the entire Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Division is bound to be the enemy of Lone, if the next step is not to preemptively send troops to attack Xi'an Mansion as soon as possible, then I am afraid that it will be counterattacked by the Ming army?
At this moment, Shunjun Zuo Fu hurriedly came out and said, "King, now Sun Chuanting has been killed, and all the Ming generals have fled, died, and wounded, but in general, it is still a threat to our army, so the lower official suggested that the king should do your best to bury Inspector Sun with the friendship of the landlord, so as to alleviate the probability of a counterattack by the Ming army in Shaanxi, and secondly, let the people mourn and win the hearts of the people, what do you think, king?" ”
After hearing this, the king of Xinshun hurriedly clapped his hands and praised, and let the left auxiliary of the Shun army be responsible for the burial affairs, and the rest of the generals of the Shun army entered the camp with the king of Xinshun to discuss the military situation, and the news of the death of the Inspector Sun soon spread, and the generals of the Ming army who escaped cried when they learned the news of the martyrdom of the Inspector! Some of the generals who had been promoted under Inspector Sun also set up a mound for him as a memorial, and the generals wanted to report the military situation, but because they were deserters, they were afraid that the court would condemn them? After all, Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, and if you are not careful, it may lead to death, so the generals will choose to hide it and not report it.
On the other side, Wu Youke and Zhao Chuan pulled the cart and stopped in the bushes three hundred steps outside the city, tired and panting, hurriedly let go of the cart and sat down to rest, Wu Youke, who was relieved, took out the medicine box to treat the skin trauma for the two, Zhao Chuan was on the side to guide him, and then shouted to wake them up, Wu Junzhen first opened his eyes and slowly sat up and shook his head, feeling a little pain, then stretched out his hand and touched his head but found himself in the wild? Looking at Wu Youke beside him, he smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, how do you feel when you finally wake up?" ”
Wu Junzhen replied, "Ben will be fine!" By the way, how did I end up here? I remember before I fell unconscious, it was in the castle of Senhusho? At this time, Ma Wei was awakened by fright, and he shouted: "Brother Wu, be careful of artillery fire!" After waking up, he was sweating profusely and asked, "Two doctors, why are we here?" How's the battle going? What about Inspector Sun? Seeing the two of them asking so eagerly, Wu Youke and Zhao Chuan couldn't help but be very helpless! They turned around, shook their heads silently, waved their hands, and said, "You better not ask!" ”
Seeing that the two doctors refused to tell the truth, Wu Junzhen guessed that Bacheng had encountered an accident? And Ma Wei immediately thought that the time when Inspector Sun died in history happened to be today? Suddenly, the two of them felt a little sad and couldn't help but lower their heads and become silent, thinking of Inspector Sun's promotion of himself as an officer before, and the matter of fighting against the rogues together, this incident seemed to be vivid, but now the Inspector has suffered a misfortune!
After being silent for about a while, Ma Wei lifted his spirits and wiped away his tears, patted Wu Junzhen on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wu, now that Master Inspector has been killed, then we have to pass on the news?" Besides, our army still has troops in Shaanxi, so we can report to the governor and ask him to transfer troops to suppress Liukou and avenge Inspector Sun. ”
This made Wu Junzhen feel reasonable, and he thought of going to Xi'an Mansion After all, he had a relationship with the Ming Xi'an prefect last time, and it was appropriate to ask him to inform the governor of the prefecture, and the two planned to leave immediately as soon as they put together, but considering the whereabouts of Dr. Wu and Dr. Zhao, the two hesitated for a moment and asked, "Two doctors, where do you plan to go in the future?" Wu Youke, who was full of vicissitudes of life, thought for a while and said: "The old man is used to the days when he has no fixed place, and now he can only follow his teacher to wander around the world and spend the rest of his life to help more people!" ”
Seeing that the two doctors had a place to go, Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei said goodbye, but Wu Youke stopped him and said, "Slow!" The last time Mr. Qian and your husband treated the epidemic, it was up to you to treat the disease! Take this "Plague Theory" book with you! Maybe it may be useful in the future when the epidemic is encountered when marching and fighting? There is an old man who records what he has learned all his life in treating the epidemic. ”
Looking at the medical book in front of him, Wu Junzhen's hands trembled a little, he didn't dare to take the book easily, so he excused himself and said, "Doctor Wu, this is your medical book, how can I ask for it?" I can't help it! But Wu Youke said righteously, "The old man is in the age of the sixtieth year, and time is running out, so it must be difficult to see the day when the medical books are passed on!" Seeing that you are destined, you should be regarded as an old man who accepts thousands of adults as apprentices! After hearing this, Wu Junzhen instantly felt that Dr. Wu was very great, showing the spirit of a doctor who wanted to pass on his medical skills, and Ma Wei also persuaded Wu Junzhen to agree to accept the medical book, and knelt down to Wu Youke's master and apprentice three bows and six bows.
